What a day, What a day. Phew. I was up at 4:48 (I only set my alarm for times ending in 8) to get ready for my early morning blood work and scan. My RE's office, IVF Michigan, begins doing ultrasounds and blood at 7am and it is first come, first serve. I have been there sometimes behind so many women that I have had to call in to work and take the morning off because I would never get out of there in time. So, as a precaution, I like to get there around 6:15am and just wait outside the door (I usually take papers to grade). This morning the roads made me a little late and I was the second woman there. Still pretty good, I was out by 7:30am.
Did the blood work and had my ultrasound. She first checked the lining of my uterus and then moved on to my ovaries. Right ovary looked good. She thought she saw a cyst, but it ended up being an artery. I have 10 follicles on the right side. Measurements were good...on to the left side. I dread the left side and I hate my left ovary. It is hidden somewhere in there and is so hard to find. Added on to that, today's ultrasound was with small ovaries. When they get giant during a medicated cycle, I can usually push on my stomach to move it to a spot making it easier to find. When they are not stimulated with meds though, pushing doesn't help. Today she tried until my eyes closed, my body was writhing, I was lifting off the table and the sweating started. We found it for a second, but didn't get follicle counts or a size. Oh, I am so happy when we are done with that stupid ovary. Other than that, pretty easy. She said after the doctor saw my scans and went over my blood work, they would call.
I got the call later in the day and everything looks good so far. My bloodwork is good, which it always is early on, and I go back for another scan next Friday. :)
